I'm looking to replace my 3-year old Macan GTS later in the year. I was planning to get another GTS or Turbo, but was surprised that neither has been launched yet. It might be expected for the GTS to be launched later, but the original Turbo model was available when the Macan first launched. I know this has a lot to do with WLTP regulations delaying renewal cycles, but if anyone knows when either the Turbo or GTS will be available, I'd be most grateful.

The general consensus of a best guess is for Turbo launch June / July ish for Sept delivery and GTS Nov launch for Q1 2020 deliveries.........then again ..... we’ve been wrong before!......😂

I wonder given the news that the face lifted Macan is going to soldier on for a lot more than the normal three years due to running in parallel with the electric version, maybe the model roll out will be slower.

I enquired in December and the response for a GTS was 18 months. Not sure if that was delivery or launch.
I would think announcement latter part of this year with deliveries Q1 2020.

Mainly guesswork though.

The following article in Car Magazine could be relevant to timing and nos available

We could also have a less car friendly Government by then.

One of the reasons I decided not to wait and go for a Facelift S was a bird in the band worth two in the bush etc.

PMG, that explains the EV craze at Geneva Motor Show!

I can see I will keep the Macan S for a long time!

Thanks very much for the responses. Have to say that I like the idea of an electric Macan in a few years time. But it has to be as good as the petrol ones.

+1

When the Macan GTS was announced wait times went through the roof with some OPCs not being able to give any indication.

An OPC near me said that they only expect one allocation every month or two.

I'm hearing the "rumours" that there might not even be a GTS model this time. Trying to find out more info....

I have had had this suspicion for a bit. Getting more power out of the new V6 without fitting a second turbo and still meeting new emission regs was always going to be difficult.
